Special Guest Nicholas "DeckTech" Weiss joins me to talk about his second Hearthstone fan set, the recently released "Halls of Valor." This set is heavily themed toward the World of Warcraft Vrykul race, and was built as sort of practice in game design, as one of his dreams is to work on the initial design team at Blizzard! You can review the set at the following link:

Guest VengaDragon and I talk about the new Tavern Pass controversy, why some of these changes may have been made, and even if Hearthstone is rebranding itself as a casual game.

You didn't think we forgot the Neutral Cards, did you?  And as a special bonus, I've brought in some experts to talk about the cards that might see play in Wild and Arena.  Full service coverage for my first review season!
